Rethinking employee engagement: Questback discusses a transformation that is embracing emerging best practices in aligning people to strategic goals and objectives.

New York City, New York – April 24, 2017 – Questback, the global leader in enterprise feedback management, will present today at HR People + Strategy’s 2017 Annual Conference. Questback President, Carol Lee Andersen, and former RSA Insurance Group HR Project Consultant, Alexander Stephanou, discuss the changing landscape of employee engagement. Enterprises are evolving around people and analytics; a transformation that is requiring them to break down outdated notions and embrace emerging trends in the use of technology to align people to strategic goals and objectives.

Hosted by the executive arm of SHRM, HR People + Strategy’s 2017 Annual Conference brings together influential business executives and thought leaders to participate in an innovative and forward-thinking discussion on HR in today’s environment. Andersen and Stephanou will cover the changing concept of employee engagement and the importance of redefining it for today’s business requirements. “Employee engagement is probably one of the most used, or misused, soft data concepts in business,” states Stephanou. “Employee engagement is fundamentally changing. It is transforming into an integrated measure of how businesses operate, offering human resource leaders a refreshingly new opportunity to secure the delivery of critical outcomes in close collaboration with business leaders.”

Employee engagement will transform into a continuous, integrated business measure of employee alignment to strategic goals and objectives, providing detailed insight into the way a business operates and enabling thorough identification of early warning signs of risks and failures. “Employee engagement is the opportunity, and requirement today, to add the why to all of the data we have acquired - and continue to acquire," states Andersen. A cornerstone of Questback’s leading enterprise feedback technology, employee engagement plays a crucial, often overlooked, role in a digital world inundated with data. "The next era of HR, people, and business will be integrating data across the organization. It's creating context, answering why, and enabling foresight," Andersen continues. In other words, businesses will increasingly provide their people with the ability to voice their views and impact operations in ways that seamlessly incorporate with their day-to-day work.
